You’ve made it this long, tough it out for 4 more months.

That is a tough call @Sara Aviv Berger.

The projects that are going up are built with less than qualified help, cheap materials and rushed to the point of poor craftsmanship all around.

Empty the units, spruce them up, put in paying tenants selected by your manager.If you think it's tough dealing with an incompetent manager, try managing them yourself from a distance.

Melissa LapinskiAlmost always available on the County Assessor's website (key word is ALMOST...some counties make it tough as Jon Holdman said).

@Katrina Kunzler this is a tough one!

It's going to be tough to get that $400 back.

NEW TENANT GIFTSHere's what we give new tenants.....Cleaning Bucket with Cleaning Supplies:white vinegar, baking soda, awesome degreaser, disinfectant wipes, carpet spot cleaner, magic eraser, all purpose cleaner, scrub sponge.Tote Bag with Useful Items and Tools:hand soap, paper towels, plastic garbage bags, toilet paper, toilet plunger, Zip-It (strip for clearing hair clogs from drains), plastic clothes hangers (6), shower curtain liner (good quality cloth one), laundry detergent, dish soap/dish detergent, cutting board, "Freeze the Grease, Save the Drain" kit, “Recycle” bag for collecting materials for recyling, magnet with our name and contact information, picture hangers.Refreshments In the Fridge (for move-in day): several bottles of water, healthy snacks, bottle of sparking cider with a welcome note attached.Larger items: Welcome mat, shoe tray.

The fact they are willing to pay $200 extra also indicates they have had a tough time renting other places, aka other landlords have told them no.I would lower the rent and find a good tenant before I did this, but that’s just me. 

I expect the project will be a bit cheaper than the quote because I've been sourcing materials myself which were included in the quote and was able to buy new hardwood flooring on fb marketplace as well as buying nice hardwood cabinets from Habitat Restore that will be refinished instead of buying new plus a few other fun thrifted finds to keep costs down!
